The Legislature and the supreme
Court.

The Silver State tells some plain
truths in the following: There seems
to be an irrepressible conflict between
the Legislature and the Supreme
Court of Nevada. The Court gener-
ally has the best of it, as the Leglsla-
tire is not ID session continue lily, but
when it is It endeavors to get even
with the Court. Some time since the
Court decided that Lieutenant Govern
OF Laugbton, by reason of non-com-
pliance with the law, was not entitled
TO draw salary as State Librarian.
The Legislature PodsDaps brush this
decision aside by promptly introduce
iny and rushing a bill through the
Senate to pay him $4,000 out of the
State Treasury, for which it is not
even pretended that he rendered any
service. and the bill will doubtless be-
come law.
The Legislature of 1885 attempted
to make amends in the latter part OF
the session for being in session only
s6 hours during the first thirty dass
of it, by reducing salaries. To this
end they passed an act, which the
members claimed would save the State
many thousand dollars year in sal
aries of officials. Every body who
read the act, except the enactors of it,
believed that it was unconstitutional,
because it purported to amend an act,
which did not exist, and now that be-
lief is confirmed by the Supreme
Court declaring it unconstitutional,
and the officials elected last November
will receive the old salaries. This de-
cision will doubtless be hailed with
Joy by the members of the present
Legislature, who will receive eight
dollars per day, including Sundays,
aud the time lost In consequence of
clerk being called to San Francisco on
private business. 1t will be in order,
however, tor the majority of both
Houses to acquire some cheap motor
iety for economy before they adjourn,
by passing bill to reduce the salaries
of the officials to ne elected 1883.
There is political capital to be made
by working the ECONOMY racket" a.
the courts will not he called to pass
upon a bill reducing salaries until
after the next election, and the public
will forget AL about it. except its pas
&c, and if unconstitutional, forgive
the ignorance of those who enacted it.
as good partisans are always expected
to do.

Death Of Jerry schooling.

The Reno Journal of the 4th says:
Jerry Schooling was stricken with ap-
oplexy Wednesday night and never
recovered from the stroke. drawing his
last breath at 4:05 yesterday after
noon. This is the sad news telegraph
ed from Carson, and which we give to
our readers this morning The an
nouncement is accompanied with
sorrowful feeling, for in the death oil
Jerry Schooling the State has lost one
of its best citizens, his family most
indulgent husband and father, and his
friends and acquaintances warm
hearted, true friend and companion.
Mr.. Schooling had twice been State
Treasurer. and also a State Senator
from Washoe. He was always faith
full servant of the people. and he never
received his need of praise for his
good and honorable deeds. May his
slumbers be peaceful, and in the other
world may he receive the best of all
Heavenly things.

The Senate Committee on Post
offices and Postroads has reported a
bill for the establishment of a tele-
graphic service as a branch of the
postoffice. Should this bill become a
law the rate for 20 words from Reno
to New York would be so cents, in
stead of 81 for ten words as now.
The rate for message of 20 words
sent to any point on this Coast would
be 20 cents. Such law would make
reduction of at least so per cent. on
all messages.

The utterance of the London Stan

others had no hope OF a recovery. For u
while could neither walk, SIT down, nor
lie down, only in misery as my flesh seemed
to be falling of my bones IN pieces as big as
a her egg. My appetite was lost, my bones
ached and panied me. and friends even
stunned me. l used various blood puri-
fers without benefit and several physicians
treated me until large sums OF money had
been expended, but not one particle oil
good did anyone give me.

THE DARKEST HOUR.

For period of four years I've been vic

such an extent that they almost became
burden.
My hand became raw and horrffying,
compelling me to keep 1t covered all the
time.
I've spent hundreds of dollars for various
preparations, but instead of benettting my
condition, they all seemed to stimulate and
encourage the progress of the miserable dis.
ease, until had about given up all hope.
But thank heaven, " the darkest hour is
just before day" and am rejoiced to know
that positive cure has been found, which
is known as b. b. B.-Botauic Blood Balm.
My family all rejoice at its magical cura.
tive powers in giving me reliei My hand
has been cured and resembles burnt suri

thing else 1t has also cured my two chill
dren of loathsome form OF Itch which had
